He is the mighty Redeemer. He alone judges all created beings.

He pardons forever. He is the Most High, and His eye is directed to those who fear Him.

He answers silent [whispered] prayer. He opens the gate for those who knock in repentance.

His hand is open. He waits for the evildoer, and desires that he be cleared of guilt.
And All Believe
He is righteous and upright. His wrath is brief and He is forbearing.
And All Believe
He is hard to anger. He is merciful and causes mercy to precede wrath.

He is easily appeased. He is immutable, and treats small and great alike.
And All Believe
He is the righteous Judge. He is perfect and acts with perfection to those who are sincere.
And All Believe
His work is perfect!
[G-d,] You alone will be exalted and will reign over all in Oneness, as it is written
On that day the Lord shall be One and His Name One.
[Zechariah 14:9]
